REVELATION 5
6. And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. KJV
ISAIAH 11
2. And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. KJV
REVELATION 5
12. …Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. KJV
We have 3 scriptures talking about the seven Spirits of God. What are the 7 they are talking about?
6 Sprits of God in Isaiah 11:
- Wisdom
- Understanding
- Counsel
- Might
- Knowledge
- Fear of the Lord
We have only 6. The 7th is in John 15:26.
7. Truth
John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, Whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of Truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me. KJV
7 Spirits of God in Revelation 5 the Lamb is to receive:
- Power
- Riches
- Wisdom
- Strength
- Honour
- Glory
- Blessing
It is a strange coincidence that the reward Jesus receives because He is the Worthy Lamb of God Who has been slain add up to 7. Seven is the number for completeness and perfection. He is perfect and Holy and the Spirit of God.
We must always remember that we are of His body and He shares all He is with us. We are called to be One with Him, so we can claim all He has and is.
Ephesians 1:14 The Spirit is the guarantee of our inheritance – the first fruit, the pledge and foretaste, the down payment on our heritage – in anticipation of its full redemption and our acquiring complete possession of it, to the praise of His glory. Amp. C.
